The Beginning

One might wonder why two fairly level-headed people might decide to take a trip with a seven-week-old baby.

When our friend, Brian, started grad school a few years ago, Jeff and I decided that we wanted to attend his graduation.

Then we moved out of state, but we still wanted to go to his graduation.

Then we found out we were expecting our little miracle, but we decided we'd still make graduation.  Soooo...that's what this trip was about!  And, Brian didn't know we were coming, but Anna did.  Anna and Brian live near our old town and some old friends, so we got to see a few old friends along with Brian and Anna.

We spent our first two nights with Uncle Mel and Aunt Jan and spent a little time with them, and also introduced them to their first great niece.

We went to Sam's school's field day to surprise Brian. 
I get so much pleasure out of seeing how much our kids love each other.  (This is Jonathan with Sam and Katherine.)


Brian was dumbfounded.  It was great.

Hugs for Uncle Brian!


And, we got to meet baby Kai.  Jonathan really loved him.  To be continued...
